No.97 (Straits Settlements) Squadron Coningsby13 February 1945
ATTACK ON DRESDEN
Rain during the morning prevented early flying but Operations were laid on to attack Dresden a very important rail centre for the supply of German armies at the Russian Front. Take off for the sixteen crews detailed was at 18.15hrs with “H” Hour at 22.15hrs. Although the route outward went through the Ruhr North of Cologne, no one was troubled by the defences.
Marking at the target was both quick and accurate by all the Primary Blind Markers, Flare Forces and Mosquitos, although a thin layer of stratus cloud existed over the target. Main force was called in to bomb and it was done very well to judge by the Controller’s remarks. No photographs were obtainable. All crews returned safely to Base. Other Groups detailed to attack the same target two hours later reported first seeing the fires 150 miles away. Their photographs showed considerable destruction wrought by the previous attack.
